How to Make a Quick and Easy Custom Sign

Right before I left for vacation I was at my hairdresser’s and she showed me a blank wooden sign that she had picked up at Michael’s for a few dollars. She asked me for ideas on how she could use it to make a small sign to hang outside of the entrance to her shop. Her shop is attached to her house in a residential neighborhood so she can’t have big signs. She just wanted a cute, little sign to hang on the siding beside the entrance to her shop.

I told her that I could quickly make her sign using the PVPP method. PVPP stands for paint, vinyl, paint, peel. I think I’ve shown this technique before but here’s a quick review. And maybe some of you aren’t familiar with this quick way of making signs.

I used my Cricut Maker and vinyl to make the letter stickers, but you could also purchase letters stickers at your craft store if you don’t have a Cricut or Silhouette machine.

The first thing I did was pick out some paint colors. I had taken a picture of Emme’s door as I was leaving so I could match up the colors.

This photo has all the colors that I need to reference: a brick red, gray, and light gray.

I painted the bare wooden sign with a light gray paint first. This would end up being the colors of the letters.
